Modern pleasant apt with excellent bed and good shower. Only downside was a maintainance issue for in-apt washer. Also kitchen needs at least one microwave casserole dish or pyrex glass bowl for heating food and at least one cookie sheet/oven pan for the stove. With only 3 plastic handle stove pots, travellers can't use either micro or oven - even to heat soup or warm up a take away. Just be aware that hotel part of apt bldg is on 68 and 69th floors: quite incredible view if heights are not an issue.

Imagine Max!!!

Amazing service (views from the 69th floor was a bonus). Impeccably kept place, all the amenities are provided (including a washer-dryer, dishwasher - and the required soap!). Cleaned regularly (maid even did the dishes). Centrally located within the Free Tram Zone and a short walk from Queen Victoria Market, with a ton of shops nearby for nearly anything you could require (I needed a USB hard drive enclosure and found a store 10-min walk away! Food choices are plentiful and readily available). A real treat for a 5-day stay. Highly recommended.

Central city stay

No more than we expected. A pretty standard apartment hotel. The room had everything we needed. Like most apartments hotels all facilities are shared with tenants. The bedroom was very noisy - it sounded like we were right near a aircon vent. The pool and spa area were good. Good location. Good city view. There is no onsite parking. $35 per day (with discount) a block away.

Lovely Sky apartment, no waiting for lifts. Supermarkets close by, eateries close by. Walking distance to Metro central, Trams close. We rode the free tram 35 to do the rounds on the loop and got on and off when we wanted to see something. Really enjoyed our stay at Image Lighthouse and Melbourne
